Step into the fall season with the perfect layering piece: an oversized button down shirt (think, Shacket!). In this class, students will learn how to draft, cut, and construct a basic button down shirt based on their own measurements.
Be prepared - purchase your supplies online or in person before class begins! Class supplies are available for purchase at Modern Domestic. To purchase supplies online and pick up the day of your class, just select NE Alberta Store for pick-up. To purchase supplies in store, we recommend allowing at least 45 minutes to shop. Please note that our store hours are Monday-Saturday, 10am-5pm.
Supply List:
- 2 1/2- 2 3/4 yards light to medium weight cotton, chambray, or flannel (main fabric)
- 1/4 yd lightweight fusible interfacing
- 1 spool of Mettler Metrosene All-Purpose Polyester Thread (coordinating or color matching with main fabric is recommended)
- 10- 1/2" buttons (This item can be chosen after class begins.)
*Make sure to pre-wash your fabric in advance of class. This prevents possible fabric shrinkage that could otherwise make your finished garment too small.
*Skill Level: Advanced Beginner - You have a good handle on the basics and are ready to dip your toe into more challenging waters. You’re still fairly new to sewing from patterns and could use help with how to manipulate the pattern to get a better fit. You want to add some new skills to your repertoire (invisible zippers, setting-in sleeves, sewing with a serger, etc.). Classes generally require homework.
